At the present time, there are no Rocky Mountain States with coasts on any ocean. At some point in Earth's history part of this vast area was submerged as evidenced by ocean creature's fossils being discovered there. There is pessimistic speculation that, in the future, parts of the Rocky Mountain states will have ocean fronts when the San Andreas fault blows and California "falls into the sea." It could happen instantly in true polar wander or a great perturbation.

How do snow storms form in the Appalachian Mountains or the Rocky Mountains Where do these storms get their moisture?

Snow storms in the Appalachian Mountains and the Rocky Mountains form when moist air is forced to rise over the mountains, leading to cooling and condensation of water vapor into snow.
